HOT PEPPERS 
HOT PORTUGAL. The best large hot red pepper. If you 
want large “‘hot’’ peppers be sure to grow 
some Hot Portugal. The fruit’ is twice as large as Giant Cayenne and 
just as hot. It is the largest pepper of this type we have seen and is 
very hot. The fruit averages 6 inches or more in length, is bright red 
when ripe, and is very freely borne on sturdy upright plants. Seed of 
our own growing.

PUMPKINS 
Hot Portugal A packet will plant 5 or 6 hills; an ounce 20 hills. a | 
A few hills of pumpkins in the garden will give you the “makins” of many delicious pies in the fall 
and winter. If you grow your own you can get pumpkins of a quality that is impossible to match in the 
commercial canned product, and at very small cost. If your garden is small, a few hills among the sweet 
corn will not take up any extra ground. 
SMALL SUGAR (also called ‘‘New England Pie’’). The Favorite Pie Pumpkin. Small, 
deep yellow pumpkins, ribbed and slightly flattened at the ends. They have 
good thick, sweet flesh that is excellent for pies. There is always a good demand for these pumpkins in 
market and this is one of the best varieties to grow for the roadside trade as well as the home garden. 
Ripens early and is very prolific. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 14 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.00. 
ORANGE WINTER LUXURY. Fine for Pies. These rich pumpkins are nearly round, deep orange 
in color and beautifully netted. The flesh is very thick, deep orange yellow and of the finest quality 
for pies. The fruit is of good size, being nearly twice as large as the Small Sugar. Keeps all winter if 
put in a dry moderately warm place. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 14 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.20. 
CONNECTICUT FIELD or “‘Big Tom.’’ The common large yellow field pumpkin used for ‘‘Jack

. than any other pumpkin or squash, sometimes weighing 100 lbs. or more. The fruit are salmon 
r pink and nearly round. The flesh is yellow, thick and of fair quality. (Botanically this is a

RHUBARB or PIEPLANT 
Roots can be raised from seed sown in the spring, and are ready to transplant to the permanent 
bed the next spring. Seedlings cannot be relied upon to reproduce the variety true to type no 
matter how carefully the seed is raised, so only. the roots that produce the largest and best stalks 
should be used, the rest being discarded. 
We make a specialty of growing fine sturdy 
pepper plants. We can supply either seedlings 
which should be grown in the hot bed or win- 
dow box for a few weeks or hardy transplanted 
plants for setting directly in the garden. See 
page 82 for varieties and prices. 


Small Sugar Pumpkin 
MYATT’S LINNAEUS. Stalks grow very large and are light green and scarlet in color. 
Seed Only: We do not offer roots of this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 60c. 
MACDONALD. (New.) Roots only. This remarkable variety is the most distinct 
improvement which has been made in rhubarb in a good many years. 
We obtained the original roots a number of years ago from MacDonald College of McGill 
University at Montreal, and have increased our stock by root division. 
The stalks are very large and become a bright crimson color. They are tender, of excellent 
flavor and when cooked they make a beautiful deep pink sauce. The plant is high yielding, 
strong and robust. 
We offer roots only of this variety. Although MacDonald sometimes puts up a seed stalk like 
other varieties it does not pollinate readily and we have never succeeded in harvesting any seed. 
MacDonald Rhubarb Root Divisions: Ea. 40c; 3 for 95c; Doz. $2.50 transportation paid. Not paid: $10.00 per 100.
